Overused pokemon
 
Because of my location and age I never really was able to battle. Because of WiFi soon I will be battling other trainers I reckon.
I'm hearing allot about 'overused pokemon'. I don't have an idea about them myself because I didn't battle too much. But for example Skarmory and Alakazam appear to be some. I'd like to know more names of the top 50 most overused (actually just 'used' then) pokemon out there. So, start posting and keep adding names to the list starting with:

Alakazam
Skarmory

I don't know myself since my Router is given me a hell of a time connecting, but I would assume some are:

Roserade
Rampardos
Lucarion

Lucario for it's Special Sweeping, Rampardos for Physical Sweeping(with ChoiceScarf).

Storm-DC May 14th, 2007 9:18 AM

Milotic
Luxray
Tyranitar(?)

Forci Stikane May 14th, 2007 10:43 AM

Well..there's the Big 4:

Tyranitar
Metagross
Dragonite
Salamence

And the Bulky Waters:

Milotic
Swampert

And some are getting more play due to the physical/special split, including

Gyarados
Gengar

And there are others that'll just be all over the place, including (but not limited to)

Infernape
Rhyperior
Lucario
Ninjask (Baton Passer)

Turismo2029 May 19th, 2007 10:50 PM

Why would Froslass be overused at all?

It doesn't have much going for it besides looking cool..

That could just be the reason for it, looking cool...

But the number of OU Pokemon is so gonna increase and looking at the list Paranoia posted, that's already quite a lot.

Sir~Suddeath May 25th, 2007 7:12 PM

Roserade
Rampardos
I dont think theyre overused...

Legendary Squirtle May 25th, 2007 7:25 PM

I've seen alot of teams with:

Lucario
Floatzel
Rapidash(though this may be because its the only non legendary fire type you can catch)

Shiny May 25th, 2007 8:53 PM

That Doesnt nessiarrilly mean its a OU pokemon

Lemee lay down the "True" meanning of OU...

OU Pokemon are pokemon with exeptionally high stats (Tyranitar, Metagross, Dragonite, [email protected]) that are either to powerfull to compete in UU (UnderUsed) or are to weak to be considered in usage in OO (Uuber)

Due to their complete movepools and high stats, these pokemon gain a higher advantage over others, therefor are to strong to compete in UU


Looking at Frosslass' Stats and Movepool... Id say she neither fits in OU or UU and falls under the Category "NU" (NoUse) And would primarily be used only to "Look Cool"

kohei May 25th, 2007 11:37 PM

I still see a lot of Metagross and Garchomp pretty much stole Salamence's position.
Togekiss with Thunder Wave and Water Pulse also seems to be popular, though it's not as popular as when DP came out in Japan.

[EDIT] lol forgot T-Tar.
Also, Milotic is less common now, and when I do see it on Wi-Fi, it's not as powerful as it used to be...

AztecSunshine May 26th, 2007 6:15 AM

i thick alot of you forgot flygon many many trainers uset for flying and it has a good movepool and states and he looks coooooooooool
